From This Moment On ...! + PRAYER: I Cannot Live Like This ...! Lord, I Love You!

I Had In My Heart
A Little Jesus
AND
I Had In My Heart
A Lot Of My Self!
There Was A Battling Raging
AND
Each Desired The Other
To Take A Knee
On The Back Shelf!

I Often Talked A Walk
I Was Not Walking!
I Often Walked A Talk
About Which I Was Uncomfortable To Enthusiastically Speak
AND
This Was Making My Life Uncomfortable
AND
I Really Needed Heavenly Relief!

PRAYER:

Lord,

I Can Not Live Like This Any Longer!

Please, Do Something For Me!

Open My Eyes

My Ears

My Heart

My Head

Grant Me Understanding!

Lord, God Almighty

Please Grant Me Some Relief!

I Did Not Hear A Stern Voice Speaking!
I Did Not Even Hear A Soft Voice Whispering Inside My Head
BUT
With The Passage Of Time
I Noticed
That Past Pleasures Seemed Asinine
AND
I Was More Toward Faithfulness
To God's Ways
Steadfastly Inclined!

Nonsense Made No Sense!
Defiance Was No Defense!
Recalcitrance Made Me Seem Dense
AND
I Was Studiously Eager
To Get Off
The Waffler's Shaking Fence!

I No Longer Found Pleasure In Waywardness!
I No Longer Found Pleasure In Walking The Contrarian Way!
I No Longer Found Pleasure
In Arguing For Both Satan And God
AND
Finally Recognized
Realized
That I Did Not At All Like Trying 
Against God
To Be In The Right!

Prayer Changed Things!
I No Longer Wanted With Jesus Christ
A Mere Fling!
I Wanted A Commitment!
I Wanted To Belong!
I Wanted To Be With The Lover Of My Soul
AND
I Wanted The Relationship
To Be Permanently
Enduringly
Forever Long!
I Wanted Us!
I Wanted In Him To Never Grow Old!

PRAYER:

Lord,

I Love You!

You See 

Know

My Heart

Better Than I Do!

Please, Won't You Take Me 
In Your Loving Hand

And

Be To Me
My All And All?

When I Ignore You

I Feel Scattered

And
Bereft!

Please, Hold Me

Enfold Me

Keep Me Close

To That Sacrificial Heart 

In Your Spear-Pierced Side
That Sin Cleft!

Forgive Me

For My Myriad Follies!

Forgive Me

For Giving In To My Lying Wants
Adjudged To Be My Needs

But Was Indeed My Gross Greed!

Forgive Me

For Doubting Your Living Holy Word!

Forgive Me

For From You Looking Away!

Forgive Me

For Giving Place To The Devil!

I Am Sorry, Lord!

Forgive Me!

I Beseech You, Please

Is My Penitent Heart's Humble Pray!

From This Moment On

Help Me

In You

To Be Strong!

Give Unto Me Music

For My Satisfied-With-Jesus Song

So That

In The Day A-coming

I May Joyously Sing 

With The Redeemed

In The Overcomer's Glorying Throng!

Thank You, Lord

For Hearing And Answering My Prayer

Presented In The Name Of My Lord

Jesus Christ The Righteous
In Whose Faith I Live
And Breathe!

AMEN!

TRUTH: A Light Bulb Moment!

I Met A Little Magpie
Stepping Pretty As She Went!
She Walked Across The Window Sill
And Then She Daintily Bent
And Picked Up The Shining Object
And Zip!
Away She Went!

Ding, Ding, Ding!!
Light Bulb Moment!

As With The Magpie

So It Is With Humans!

We Go After What Lights Up Our Eyes

Even Though

It Cannot Benefit Us 

Or 

Our Living!!

Hmmmm ...

We Can't Fool The Master 
For
He Gave Us 
Our Beings
Our Breaths
Our Hearts, and
Our Mouths!

He Is The Redeemer!
He Is Our Dearest Friend
BUT
He'll Be Either Our Judge, or 
Our King
For
It Will Have Been Our Choice 
When Comes The End!

Think About Your Life!
Can You Save Your Own Soul?
Can You Extinguish Hell's Fires
When You Are Kept Out The Gate?

Salvation Now Is Free
To All Who Believe
AND
Trust In King Jesus
His Heart On Their Sleeve!

Believer - The Faithful!
The Faithful - Standing Holy
On This Hard Ground
Grounded In The Holy Gospel
AND
Knowing 
Satan Can't Turn Us Around!

Better To Be Chosen By Christ
To Be Soldier or Sacrifice!
It Makes No Difference To Us
For
When He Comes
We Fly
Home 
To His House
To The Mansions of Rest
To Live With The God Eternal
Eternally Blessed!

I Want In On Jesus' Action
AND
I Will In The Strife Fight
AND
If I Am Chosen To Say: "Good Night!" 
"GOOD NIGHT!"

I Own No Fear!
I Fear No Fright!
Jesus Is My Lord and My God
AND
He's Already Saved My Soul From Sin's Blight!

I Shall Awaken
Redeemed
Remade
Righteous
In Flight
Nevermore to Be Afflicted
I Will See My God - As One of His Own!

My Rest Will Be Sweet!
My Rest Will Be Glorious!
My Future Amazingly Bright
AND
I Will Sing Through Endless Ages Of
Eternal Day
No More Night!

Just Because Something Glitters Like Gold

That Does Not Mean

It Is Valuable

OR

Pure Gold!
